If had to do one thing over with our nursery, it would be buying more items that look good after your kid hits two. As cute as those bunny rabbit rugs are under a crib–not so much with a kindergartener. I think the letterpress rug at CB2 is so cool for a...

I am sitting at my computer right this very second, drooling over the beautiful illustrated posters of Ingela P Arrhenius, who I discovered earlier this year. Her work just went on sale at Fab.com, my latest flash sale obsession, and at these prices–if you love...

Sarah Jane is wildly talented–something Cool Mom Picks discovered way back in 2007. Her prints are whimsical and magical in a way that would make Clement Hurd and The Runaway Bunny proud. I love the simplicity and the talent that beckons from the page. Now, fans...

Anyone who knows me well knows Rose, my best friend who has held the title since her family moved onto my block the summer before second grade. It’s because of her that I have a strong respect for the role that all the BFF’s out there play in our...

I’ve always had a soft spot for fabric sewn onto paper. Strange thing to have a soft spot for, yes. But it’s just so pretty! Take the beautiful custom Welcome New Baby custom prints from etsy shop, cozyblue, for example. A tiny fabric bunting is...

I still remember when my mom painted a mural in my room. I was five, and it was a 70’s-style jungle scene. I got to help. Seven years later, I took up the muralist’s brush myself and even helped pay my rent in college by whipping up Snoopy nurseries and...
